DeMarcus Cousins Watch
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
Malone pulls Cousins before he could get that tenth rebound, but he finishes with 31/9/4/3/1, filling in for the MVP of the league. His first 30+ point game since January 22, 2018.
Nuggets now 11-1 with Cousins in the lineup.

Wait but I thought dmc was a low IQ scrub, Malone is a horrible coach and jokic was a self made mvp and is single handedly carrying the nuggets with shoes no one can ever fill? How in the world could this ever happen?

Helluva game from Boogie. Turning back the clock.

DeMarcus Cousins spins baseline for the jam!

Listening to the way Michael Malone and the other Nuggets talk about Cousins in the post-game presser, I feel like I may have underestimated how much playing on playoff teams, even as a roleplayer, has enhanced Cousins' reputation around the NBA. They were legit praising dude for his leadership; I can imagine some Kings Fans' heads exploding, to hear that.

A Coach who he helped early in his head coaching career… Returns the favor when needed for the player. That’s how it’s suppose to be. Be loyal to who helped You. It all comes full circle! Thibs does it to his guys, doc rivers as well and a few others but s/o to coach Malone https://t.co/aGBVa32LTX

Boogie to the Kings confirmed
The ghost of DeMarcus Cousins is going head-to-head against Embiid in the fourth quarter, and getting the better of it!
Very strong first stint for Cousins, on the road, at Cleveland. Helped them turn a seven-point deficit into an eight-point lead. Has eight points, on three shots, set some good screens, to help get Bones Hyland going, and has lowkey played some surprisingly good defense. I don't know whether teams are just playing less pick and roll, or if Cousins is not getting lost, like he used to, but he's been a lot better on those plays.

Boogie with the sign lady love in the last pic.
Nuggets are getting whipped so bad by the Celtics that Michael Malone started his bench in the third quarter, over the starters. Then JaMychal Green got injured, leading Malone to put Jokic back in: for the first time this season, Jokic and Cousins are on the floor, at the same time.

It's not working.
DeMarcus Cousins still cannot stand Chris Paul.

Cousins with his worst game of the season, on a night where Denver could ill-afford for him to have a bad night: five fouls and four turnovers, in only five minutes!

Heres the real juicy bit:
which is tough but he’s really not wrong. And it’s not much different from what HB’s said about Sac as well
7 coaches in 7 years really is unforgiveable on the face of it, and that’s without getting into PDA’s Littlefinger wanna-be antics and George Karl actively and publicly antagonizing Boogie throughout his tenure. Everyone bags on Vlade but he’s Pat Riley meets Pop compared to the Maloofery and rat ****ing that came before

Well, it was actually only 6 (Westphal, Smart, Malone, Corbin, Karl, Joerger) and to be fair, Cousins did basically fire at least two of those himself.

Whatever happened he has no one to blame but himself.
Only losers looked back and blame the past. Sacramento was not an ideal team for any rookies but he and his antics have NO PLACE in basketball. I hope he never wins any trophy, which doesn't really seem like he would at this point anyway. Riding along the winners' coattail can only go so far.

You may not agree with all/part of what DMC says, but you don’t see a lot of current/ex players rushing to defend the Kings.
There’s a reason Vlade is still the best FA they’ve ever signed. Agents, draft picks, FAs…….rep is baaaad. pic.twitter.com/41SPYsc0at

TBF Malone and Joerger were the only ones who didn’t deserve to be fired

Joerger deserved to be fired but not for what he was doing while Boogie was still on the team.

And Malone was being openly insubordinate to the front office. Time has proven him the best of those coaches, but at the time he was basically a nobody, and when you're basically a nobody you can't just go around trashing your boss and expect to keep your job. Even if your star player *does* like you.
Whether true or not, would have thought negative comments about the Kings would have reached saturation point by now. Like, we know the Kings have been pretty bad, no need to retweet. And players, coaches, fans getting into the NBA - or any sport - what do you expect? Maybe the Kings experience has been a little worse for some vs other franchises, but infighting, political battles, social hierarchy, player turnover, staff turnover, poorly managed injuries, dumb rich owners with suspect money, patronising unimaginative media, short careers, limited choice, broken dreams etc are as much a part of the sporting experience as are victory parades. No one is promised anything beyond an experience.

Is there anybody in this organization that doesn't deserve to be fired? (after 16 years without playoffs)

Karl still has beef:
Paid you approx $50M and gave you the opportunity to play professional basketball for a living. 🤔😳 https://t.co/KToj2OI82p
